And whomsoever We cause to live long, We reduce (him) to an abject state in constitution; do they not then understand? 68 AND [thus it is:] We have not imparted to this [Prophet the gift of] poetry, nor would [poetry] have suited this [message]: it is but a reminder and a [divine] discourse, clear in itself and clearly showing the truth, 69 In order that it may warn him who is alive, and that the sentence may be justified on the infidels. 70 Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners? 71 We have made the cattle subservient to them so they ride and consume them. 72 And therein they have advantages and drinks; will they not then be grateful? 73 And they have taken gods besides Allah that they may be helped. 74 They will not be able to help them and will be brought (to Us) as their levied troops. 75 So do not let their saying grieve thee; assuredly We know what they keep secret and what they publish. 76 And did not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen? Yet he is an open quarreller! 77 And he propoundeth for us a similitude, and forgetteth his creation; he saith: who shall quicken the bones when they are decayed? 78 Say: He will give life to them Who brought them into existence at first, and He is cognizant of all creation 79 [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. 80 Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. 81 Whenever He wills a thing, He just commands it “Be” and it is. 82 So all glory to Him who holds all power over everything, to whom you will go back in the end. 83
